I am installing a new carb and there is a copper pipe running from the exhaust manifold (EGR?) to my old carb. My new carb does not have this fitting. Can I cap this pipe or connect it to my vacuum tree? Also, is the hose coming from the passenger side valve cover the PCV valve and is that the hose that runs and connects to the front of the carb? My new carb is an Edelbrock performer 500 with electric choke by the way.

 

Can you load a few pics? .

 

You are correct. It screwed into the choke on my old carb. Do I just cap this?

 

You can cap the tube or remove it from the manifold and cap/plug the manifold being as how the new carb has an electric choke. If you cap it at the manifold, use a steel plug for heat reasons. The factory heat tube was designed to prevent carb icing.

 

Thanks for your help! I'll get that capped. Now for finding the PCV valve hose.

 

Just a heads up.....In the USER CP, edit your signature to include the specs of your truck, that way when you start a thread, everyone knows about your truck. Like mine is at the bottom, making things a lot easier.

 

You are very welcome.....what engine ?. I may be able to assist with the PCV.

 

What size is the engine? You should have listed it in post #1.

Some people ask questions without listing a shred of evidence of what they're working on, must think the responder's are mind readers.

 

Sorry, I'll edit my signature. It is a 1979 Ford 302 block in a 1986 Bronco.

 

8 cylinder.

 

Lower picture: Notice that the PCV valve (6A666) is located in the oil cap.

You can buy PCV hose at any auto parts store.

 

No reason to be sorry...it's all good. Just tryin' to look out.

 

The Oil Breather Cap in the left valve cover serves as a PCV port as well as a breather feeding to the air cleaner. The hose from the cap to the air cleaner feeds to a Breather element inside the air cleaner housing.

 

Is it just the '79 "block" or the entire original engine?

 

You have been assimilated into the FTE Borg ! LOL
WELCOME !
